The Feel of the Place

Why People Love Living in Holladay

Holladay has mature trees, larger lots and Big Cottonwood Creek running through town, with Mount Olympus views.

Holladay Village is a walkable downtown, and Holladay Hills is redeveloping the former Cottonwood Mall site into shops and new homes.

Housing ranges from estates along Walker Lane and around Cottonwood Country Club to new low-maintenance townhomes. Joshua Sterling, REALTOR® with RE/MAX Associates, has helped sellers in Holladay.
